recovery

Good afternoon. I need some help. I have a 1513+ running DSM 6.2. Two volumes. One, the original volume (2 drives) and I assume where DSM is installed is "degraded". The other is "healthy" (3 drives). I've moved all shares from the "degraded" volume to the "healthy" volume. Is there anyway to...

Hi Guys! Hopefully someone could help me out with my issue.. Our DS918+ had been accidentally dropped down (physically) because of a human mistake from the desk it had been located during the initial install. The two HDDs, composing the Volume 1 (RAID 1) suffered almost unrecoverable damage...

Occasionally I get asked if I can recover data from failing portable hard disks, but as a Mac user, I'm finding data recovery tools are somewhat lacking for Apple Silicon and current MacOS. I was wondering if there was something that may run on the NAS akin to ddrescue on Linux, or any disc...

I am getting the message "Windows ADK configuration files missing" when creating recovery media, even though I have downloaded in installed the ADK. How can I build a recovery USB stick? Thanks in advance. Steve

Hi everyone. First post here on Synoforum so hope this is the right spot. I have a DS916+ which had 4x 4TB drives in a Raid 5 config. I purchased 4x 8TB drives to upgrade the system as was at 92% of capacity. So was going to simply just replace one drive at a time and let system rebuild but...

I just got a DS920+ a couple days ago. For home I am deciding between these two solutions but I am not sure which one is better to use? I simply want to backup my computers (Windows) to my 920+ and also have the ability for bare metal restores if needed. I generally see Veeam as being the best...

I was using the Recovery media creator in DSM 7 today and noticed a glitch that may throw off a newbie. Seems that when it finishes writing the USB recovery media, Windows pops open it's media format window, "hit cancel.". Just thought it may help a newbie. Also reported it to Synology who...

Hi, backed up a computer, trying to test a bare metal restore. + install backup agent DONE + configure backup agent, backup entire device DONE + boot from USB Active Backup for Business Recovery Wizard + log in successfully Select the device and the task list is empty although i have two full...

Hi guys, I'm looking to get a synology nas as a small file server and backup target in a SOHO environment. I've been looking at Hyper back up and using backblaze as a cloud storage provider. Is hyperback up enough to do a full bare metal recovery from total drive(s) failure? For example, if...

I thought this was going to be a genius idea, but I have quickly found it may not even work - unless the power of collective (Synoforum) knowledge can help me achieve my goal. ;) Setup NAS1 (Master): RS812+ with 4x 2TB SHR providing 6TB storage NAS2 (Local backup only): DS718+ with 1x6TB - no...

Hello, I've lurked here a little while but I just signed up to ask a question.... Has anyone succeeded in installing & running wifi drivers with usb recovery media? I'm testing bare metal recovery of a couple of systems and I can load the wifi drivers manually - but the internet options page...

TL;DR: "How do I mount/open a vdisk for a VM that doesn't boot?" I want to access files directly from inside the vdisk without it running the VM that was on it. I don't care if I have to access it from Synology NAS CLI or if I have to copy the vdisk image to my local machine to do so. More...
